    Senator Schmitt should get into the Congressional baseball game HOF for this catch.

    I bet on long shots in sports.

    I thought of betting the Knicks at half time then decided it was a bridge too far.

    Stupid bastard.

    Rs win Congressional baseball game 11-2.

    Sen. Schmitt was MVP, made amazing outfield play.

    It must mean something.

  3. “The Knicks are 0-1 when Trump attends a playoff game. The Knicks are 1-0 when Taylor Swift attends a playoff game. The best players on the Knicks are from Villanova. The Pope is from Villanova.

    Maybe DW can work out the deeper meaning in all of this.”

    That’s a tough one. Gotta work in the Texas angle too with San Antonio’s epic collapse. Maybe it all means that failed candidate Jasmine Crockett will run for pope after the current pope gives up the gig to become Villanova’s next basketball coach, with Trump becoming the coach of the Spurs, and Swift coaching the Knicks.

    Come on Charles, tell us how you really feel…

    “We saw the dumbest basketball team in the history of civilization,” Barkley said.

    “They had a [29]-point lead and took eight straight 3s. Like, that was some of the most mismanaged and stupid basketball.”

    “The San Antonio Spurs helped the New York Knicks win this game by doing some of the most stupid ass stuff I’ve ever seen on a basketball court,” Barkley concluded.

    “De’Andre Fox, whatever his name is. De’Aaron Fox,” Barkley said. “That was a dumbass play. There was no reason for him to shoot that ball.”

    If Philadelphia fans did this, it would be huge story. But it won’t be because drunks throwing snowballs at a drunk skinny Santa nearly 60 years ago is a bigger story.

  7. poorly coached game. You can’t blow a 29 pt lead.

  8. Apparently, you can blow a 29 point game. Taking threes instead of bleeding clock and then driving to the basket is insane. I coach rec basketball and even I know that.

  10. “Taking threes instead of bleeding clock” Exactly. If it was a pre-season exhibition game you might just keep throwing up threes because there is nothing to lose. But game 4 of the Finals when you are on the road and down two games to one and leading by 25?

    Fox should have driven to the basket, turned around, and dribbled back to mid court. That would have eaten at least another 5 seconds and forced NY to foul with under 10 seconds to go, maybe 7 or 8.

    Make both FTs and you are up 3 you can even give up a 2 FT foul.

    Even had he made the 2 pt layup, he would have given the Knicks like 13 seconds to set up a real play and tie.

    At that point in the game, eating up the clock was more important than scoring.

    Duke threw away the NCAA championship by not holding on to the ball. But Fox is a pro.
